At Lexibal, we receive a large number of submissions every week — ranging from internships and moot court competitions to calls for papers and academic events.
While we aim to support as many genuine student initiatives as possible, not every submission is approved. This blog explains why — clearly and transparently.
1. Incomplete or Unclear Information
Submissions that lack basic details such as:
- eligibility criteria
- dates and deadlines
- organiser identity
- application process
are often rejected or kept on hold.
Our priority is clarity. If students cannot understand the opportunity in one read, it does not serve its purpose.
2. Unverified or Questionable Sources
We do not publish opportunities where:
- the organiser’s identity cannot be verified
- official contact details are missing
- the information appears copied, misleading, or fabricated
Lexibal exists to reduce confusion — not create it.
3. Excessive Fees Without Justification
We are cautious about promoting opportunities that:
- charge unusually high participation or publication fees
- do not clearly explain what students receive in return
This does not mean paid events are automatically rejected — but lack of transparency is.
4. Poorly Structured or Promotional-Only Content
Submissions that read purely like advertisements, without:
- academic value
- learning outcomes
- meaningful participation
are often declined or sent back for revision.
Lexibal is an information platform, not a notice board for unchecked promotions.
5. Non-Legal or Irrelevant Content
We only publish content relevant to:
- law students
- legal education
- academic or professional legal growth
Anything outside this scope is not aligned with Lexibal’s purpose.
6. Failure to Follow Submission Guidelines
Many rejections happen simply because:
- the subject line is incorrect
- required documents are missing
- instructions mentioned on the website are ignored
These guidelines exist to make the process smoother for everyone.
A Final Word
Rejection does not mean your initiative lacks value.
It usually means it needs better clarity, structure, or verification.
We encourage organisers and students to revise and resubmit wherever possible.
